"I suppose the Bears are going to trade the top pick," King wrote. "I know nothing, but that seems to be the way the wind is blowing."
"What I say: The Bears could keep Justin Fields (and should), and trade the first pick down once or twice, and build the kind of supporting cast a team needs to contend," King wrote. "Suppose GM Ryan Poles traded the top pick down one spot to Washington (which would take Caleb Williams), and got the second pick, a second-round pick and a 2025 first-round pick in return.
"Then suppose Poles traded the second pick to Atlanta at eight, and the Falcons picked one of the other quarterbacks. In return, Chicago gets the eighth pick, Atlanta’s second-round pick, and first- and second-round picks next year. Imagine moving from 1 to 8 and ending up with this draft haul:
The eighth and ninth (their own) overall picks in round one this year.
Second-round picks from Washington and Atlanta this year.
Three first-round picks and two second-round picks in 2025."
